IMPROVED TOOL.

TO ALL WI-IOM IT MAY CONCERN: l Be it known that I, 'SYLvEsTEn I1. TrdicY, of Clev eland,county of Cuyahoga, inthe State of Ohio, have invented n. new and improved Combination-Wrench; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters'of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 is a perspective View ot' the combined implement. A

Fig-nre 2 represents one-half the implement. comprising half the wrench-head, the jointed half of the visie and hammer'.A

Figure 3 is the same view reversed, showing the groove.

Figure represents the other half or mate of the implement.

Figure 5 is the same view, reve-rse side, with groove.

Figure 6 isthe adjustable jaw of' the wrench-head.

Figure 7-is the screw-driver.

This improvement consists in combining in one implement an adjustable wrench, a vise`,a screw-driver, and a hammer of convenient form, arnlpossessing economy, utility, and eiciency.

v I make the handle A in two parts or halves,liigs. 2 and 4, each having a groove, B, in the inside, and an. opening, O, gs. 3 and 5. They are held together by screws or rivets a a. On one end of this handle I make 4 an adjustable wrench, D, and on the other a vise, E. .In the groove B there is a screw-driver, C, 'which is provided with a screw, z', and nnt,j; the nntj is round, fills the opening' O, and is corrugated on the circumference, and is used to propel the scrowdriver in and ont when desired. l One jaw, D,'of Athe wrench-head D is fixed, and has a diagonal groove, F, in which there is a stationary nut, f; the adjustable jawD, Iig. 6, is provided with a thnmb-set screw,'b,'which works in the nntf; the jaw also slides in the rabbets e e, for the purpose of giving the wrenchsnicient strength. The vise E has one-half hinged at e, and 'is provided with a screw, g, to give the ri C is the screw-driver, tiff. 7, and ma have a slot in'it which would crmit the screw z to ass throu h e P e Y P P A g i,

and allow the screw-driver'to pass ont each side of the screw g, or it might pass by the screw g on one side. When the screw-driver is extended for use the jaws of the vise may be closed upon it, thus giving it sui'licient strength. 'H is a claw-hammer, andis a part of the wrench-head D. This implement may be 'cast iron, malleable, and of different sizes. I

A n improved implement, constructed in thc manner above described, combines several essential qualities, chief among which is economy, also utility and durability, embracing in its construction a variety of tools required daily bythe artisan and farmer. The wrench being adjustable, is capable of being employed to turn a large range of screw-nuts and bolts. The vise is also applicable toa great variety of uses for which a. small vise and pincers are frequently required; the screw-driver and hammer also rendering it of great utility for the purposes for which these tools areconstantly needed.

What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

`I claim the improved implement herein described as a new article ofmannfacture. l l
